Lyrics
Love is a burning thing
(That's right)
And it leaves a firey ring
(There's a firey ring)
I was captured by pure desire
(That's right)
I fell into a ring of fire
(Ow! Ow! Ow!)
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I fell down down down
And those flames lit the pyre
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
("It's hot")
Love
("It's hot")
Is a burning thing
(That's right, it's the same verse again)
And it leaves a firey ring
(It's one way of learning English)
(Senator Hawkins: Pyromania)
I was captured by pure desire
(Pure desire)
I fell into that burning ring of fire
(Ow! Ow! Ow!)
I fell into that burning ring of fire
(Johnny'll never know what he missed)
I fell down down down
And those flames lit the pyre
And it burns burns burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
